Manchester United made it three wins from three under new boss Erik ten Hag as they overcame a depleted Crystal Palace at the MCG.
Goals from Anthony Martial - his third of the tour - Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho – who book took their tour total to two – sealed a comfortable win for United. After a 4-0 win over Liverpool in Bangkok and a 4-1 triumph over Melbourne Victory, ten Hag oversaw another impressive display, with United displaying a clear identity under him.
United skipper Harry Maguire was inexplicably booed by sections of the 76,499 crowd whenever he touched the ball early on, but blocked out the mindless abuse to play with authority and composure. Palace pulled a goal back through Joel Ward in the second-half, while United youngster Will Fish, who came on in the 65 th minute, was shown a straight red 19 minutes later, for denial of a goalscoring opportunity, by bringing down Victor Akinwale.
